I have an old Harley jacket on which the zip has gone, does anyone know of someone who will fit replacement zips on leather jackets - seems this is something of a 'lost' trade these days.

Any good shoe repair place will restitch or replace with new zip. Depends on condition of leather it is attached to.

My local cobbler does a lot of repairs to bike gear, boots, jackets, trousers etc. Both guys are really good, nothing is too much trouble. Unfortunately I'm a very long way from you.

Perhaps you should take a walk around your local high streets n see if the cobblers in your area are doing the same.

Good Luck!

If you find someone to put one in, it may help to unpick the old one out first, (should be cheaper ?)

.....and if anyone knows about needing a new zip putting into a jacket, JP does. Remember Squires, JP?
